Does anyone know what towing capabilitiy an 04 1.8 ls 16 v dual fuel vectra would have.

Have a realatively light caravan but to be honest we dont feel as though the cars has any pull in it and wondered if anyone has towed anything with a petrol vectra.

thanks

Your kerbweight is also important it is not wise for the towed caravan to be heavier than the towcar even if the max tow weight exceeds the kerbweight of your car
